Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

You did not beat me up as a kid you couldnt have. Nor could you beat me up as an adult. You don't know my history what i have been through or my abilities but people who know me do and they would tell you that you probably shouldnt threaten me.
You do not know what true rage is,i will be happy to show you,I earned mine the hard way

I honestly haven't seen any proof of Ryan making any threats, but you definitely are. I'm not on anyone's side, but you might want to stop accusing people of things that you are blatantly doing yourself.

I just went back through the posts and found this. You aren't painting yourself in a very good light. Unless you have some undeniable proof, anything you say about anyone should be taken with a grain of salt.

This is directed to the OP, Mel:
I am a completely neutral bystander in all of this. I have never dealt with Underground Reptiles in any way, I do not know anyone that works there, nothing. Here is the issue that I have with what I've seen.
You are benefiting from the fact that everyone is on the 'hate Underground' bandwagon right now, which is an unfortunate side effect of the BOI and a simple case of argumentum ad populum. If I were Underground Reptiles, I would also be hesitant to give you a refund or credit, and here is why: you ordered a male and two females. You are now claiming that one female died and the other is actually a male. However, your proof of this is nothing in the case of the dead one (for some reason you didn't take any pictures?) and a picture of a male gecko to show that you didn't get a female.
If you ordered two different gendered geckos from them, my request would be that you take a picture of BOTH remaining geckos, side by side, to show that BOTH of them are male. You showing us a picture of a male gecko is not proof of anything other than that you did, in fact, receive a male gecko.
I am not saying that you are wrong or lying, I'm just saying that you haven't really shown any proof of your claim. If you can show the two geckos side by side in the same picture, both males, it would give much more validity to your accusation, and I would absolutely agree that Underground Reptiles owes you compensation. In the meantime, as someone who is looking at this on a purely factual basis, I do not think that you have proven anything and the fact that Underground even offered a replacement based on what you've shown was a very generous gesture on their part.

Stated in many of my posts. I am not asking any credit or replacements for the dead female because she died weeks ago and I did not have proof. I was not even going to email them about it until the other female turned male.
Also pictures of both males are posted on this thread. THey are not side by side but are clearly different geckos, one is striped and one is banded. Don't see how I haven't proven anything

You posted the picture you sent them, that they didn't ask for, that just showed the underside of a gecko that was male. This could have been any gecko in the world as far as I'm concerned. I'm just saying, if that was the only picture that you sent them, I'm surprised they offered anything.
Again, I am NOT saying you are in the wrong...I just think that you are benefiting from people not looking at things objectively at the moment. I think that sending them a picture of both males together, it would have much more validity than just showing the underside of a male gecko.

They never asked for a picture. They have been on this thread enough. They have seen it.
Offering credit on a $20 gecko only benefits them so why not offer me credit. Then I have to purchase something else from them and pay shipping again just to get a female I ordered.

If you did not provide them any proof other than the underside of a male gecko (that could have been ANY gecko, and you had a male from them too), and they offered you a replacement on a future purchase WITHOUT ASKING FOR ANY PROOF, why on earth would you post on the BOI that they are bad people? It sounds to me like they were more than willing to work with you even without you proving anything. I personally would have asked for evidence before just giving someone free money.

The value of the animal is beside the point, but to put it in perspective, pretend that you sell someone a $500 reptile. They contact you almost A MONTH LATER and say that it is a different sex. The only proof they provide is a vague shot from the underside of a reptile showing it is male.
Would you personally be inclined to send them a full refund? Would you offer them anything without requiring further proof? If so you are a saint, and I'll buy everything you have right now.
